Iridium PNT for Finance

Iridium^® PNT delivers resilient time synchronization to protect transaction integrity and meet regulatory compliance.

Every Trade Hinges on Accurate Timing

Financial organizations rely on secure and accurate positioning to harden their cybersecurity. As threats to GNSS grow, so does the need for a secure, resilient alternative.

Assured PNT is essential across data networks—especially in finance. Regulatory bodies in several countries require highly precise timestamps on all transactions to ensure transparency and compliance.

When milliseconds are worth millions, high-precision time synchronization is vital. Traders using GPS-based timing feed systems could be exposed to spoofing risks with catastrophic consequences.

Available now, Iridium PNT safeguards timestamp integrity by continuously cross-checking against other precision clocks.

Trusted Timing for Financial Networks

Actively deployed in financial market data centers worldwide, Iridium PNT serves as a resilient complement to GNSS for critical timing synchronization. It provides a vital contingency solution to protect the operations of financial networks and major stock exchanges.

If GPS is disrupted or spoofed, Iridium PNT provides trusted timing and synchronization for continued communications viability. Its high-power, secure signal is exceptionally resistant to interference and manipulation—delivering unmatched reliability when it matters most.

Iridium PNT Offers Financial Organizations:

Reliable timing: Iridium PNT can be used to discipline a primary reference clock (PRC) to help ensure persistent accuracy to UTC.
Indoor coverage: Iridium PNT enables precise timing synchronization with an indoor antenna, eliminating the cost, complexity, and uncertainty of running cables to rooftop GNSS antennas. This is critical in environments where outdoor installations are impractical or not permitted.
Interoperability: Iridium PNT works alongside GNSS to continuously monitor timing accuracy. If GNSS is disrupted or compromised, systems can seamlessly fail over to Iridium PNT to maintain precise synchronization. Iridium PNT can also serve as the primary source of time, if needed.
Security: 1,000 times stronger than GNSS, the Iridium PNT signal also has cryptographic protections. This makes it difficult to disrupt or manipulate and increases the resilience of time-dependent applications.
Resilience: Redundancy matters—but a second GPS receiver won’t help if GNSS is degraded or denied. Iridium PNT keeps working when GPS fails, delivering unmatched resilience for critical systems.
